“…Given the constrained size of our sample (n = 30), a comprehensive evaluation of the distribution across all scales was imperative to judiciously select a statistical methodology. Employing the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) [45], a Shapiro-Wilk test [45] was executed, revealing no discernible indications of non-normality within any of the scales. Subsequently, based on this outcome and subsequent visual scrutiny of histograms (Appendix A Figures A1 and A2) and quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plots pertaining to all scales, attention was directed towards establishing the correlation between perceived challenge and narrative immersion through a Pearson correlation analysis [17,43,45,46].…”

This paper explores the intricate interplay between perceived challenge and narrative immersion within role-playing game (RPG) video games, motivated by the escalating influence of game difficulty on player choices. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing three specific questionnaires for data collection on player habits and experiences, perceived challenge, and narrative immersion. The study consisted of two interconnected stages: an initial research phase to identify and understand player habits, followed by an in-person intervention involving the playing of three distinct RPG video games. During this intervention, selected players engaged with the chosen RPG video games separately, and after each session, responded to two surveys assessing narrative immersion and perceived challenge. The study concludes that a meticulous adjustment of perceived challenge by video game studios moderately influences narrative immersion, reinforcing the enduring prominence of the RPG genre as a distinctive choice in narrative.
